Come with me, little one.
Let me tuck you in bed.
Mr. Sun has gone down,
Now the moon’s overhead.
Close your eyes, fold your hands,
Let me help with your prayers.
When you drift off to dreamland,
You will see I’m still there.
Close your eyes, little one,
There is nothing to fear.
Even when you are sleeping,
I will always be near.
Close your eyes, little one,
And I promise you this,
I will wake you tomorrow
With a smile and a kiss.
There are stars in the sky
Shining down where you lay,
And tomorrow the morning
Will begin a new day,
But for now, close your eyes,
And I’ll sing you my song.
Then you’ll see that the morning
Will be here before long.
